Falling forecast soothing nerves

Friday, March 25

With the reduction in the high water forecast nerves around Sunset Marina soothed noticeably. True, boats were still splashing several times an hour, but the pressure to launch quickly was mssing.

But the water still was coming up, just more slowly than the .9 of a foot recorded yesterday. But Thursday the ramp to the 300 Dock was nearly flat; today the dock went up and down slightly from its center float.

The maximum of 14.5 for the next week or so looks mightly good to those who, for one reason or another, keep at least one eye on the river levels.

The Coast Guard Auxiliary still is planning on emptying the Station at Sunset Marina into a semi. We're afraid that skipping the evacuation might jinx us somehow. We're not exclusive -- anyone who would like to join us is welcome after 9 a.m.
